I. INTRODUCTION
Traditionally, turmeric has been used in Chinese and
Indian Ayurvedic medicine to treat arthritis since turmeric’s
active components are known to block inflammatory
cytokines and enzymes. That’s why it’s known as one of the
best essential oils for arthritis around.
Studies have shown turmeric’s ability to help reduce
pain, inflammation and stiffness related to rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoarthritis. One study published in
the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry evaluated
the anti-arthritic effects of turmeric essential oil and found
that crude turmeric essential oil given orally at a dose that
would correspond to 5,000 milligrams per day in humans
had a modest anti-inflammatory effect on the joints of
animal subjects.
What is turmeric exactly? Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
is a perennial herbaceous plant of the ginger family
(Zingiberaceae). The turmeric plant grows to a height of
about three feet and has yellow flowers. The root is bright
orange with a thin brownish skin. Native to southern India
and Indonesia, turmeric is cultivated on the mainland and in
the islands of the Indian Ocean.
Turmeric essential oil is derived from the plant’s
tuberous rhizomes, or underground roots. The
Turmeric essential oil is considered to be a strong relaxant
and balancer, and studies have shown it can help fight
against two extremely common mood disorders, depression
and anxiety.
As an effective essential oil for anxiety and
depression, it may improve mood and positive feelings.

II. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
This study was conducted to create massage essential
oil that will be labeled as Curcuma Longa - Turmeric
Massage Essential Oil. Also, the researchers wanted to learn
more about the massage oil production process and how the
respondents rated it in terms of look, scent, texture, and
effect using sensation test. Specifically, it sought to answers
the following questions:
A. How may the profile of the respondents be described in
terms of:
 Age;

 Muscle Pain Encounter.
B. Describe the preference and experience of the
respondents in terms of:
 Look;

 Body Pain;
 Muscle Pain; and
 Skin.
C. Problems encountered by the respondents in using the
product.
Additionally, this study will compile the advice and
suggestions of 100 respondents based on their interactions
with the product. Additionally, it intends to set guidelines for
the College of Management and Business Technology at
Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology to produce
new products that have the potential to be profitable
inventions. The researcher's institution's production and
extension initiatives will be used to communicate this concept
to the public.
III. METHODOLOGY
The descriptive survey method was employed by the
researcher. The objective of this product development will
be to create a new product through experimental research
that will appeal to the general community. It was also used
to record the results of measurements and observations. The
sample product will be put to the test by the researchers to
see what the respondents prefer in terms of appearance,
fragrance, texture, and impact. For the sensory evaluation of
the final product, a nine-point hedonic scale will be used in
the questionnaire. Hedonic scales are well tried and tested in
consumer research for capturing liking data (Stone and
Siddel, 1985). Figure 1. shows a typical example of a nine-
point hedonic scale, a version regularly used with consumers
in preference mapping studies to capture liking scores.
